Starting hostap

[-Lucy]

I know in the other versions it was

switch-to-hostap

but I can't find anything about using it in BT2 final.

I think it may already be started ?




I'm trying to get into master mode so I can use fakeap .....

Unfortunately my Senao 2511CD Plus Ext is recognized as herms with orinoco drivers. I wish I could switch that to hostap drivers with chipset recognized as prism

It's a wiki. :-)

BT2 is now using pccardctl, which ought to make things interesting around here.

I also have that card.

Got it to work I did what the wiki says and it changed my card from eth2 to two things(wifi0 and wlan0) it was doing weird stuff so I took it out and put it back in and it is automatically in master mode, so to connect to the internet I changed back into managed mode

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed


Thank You!

I had the same problem with pclinuxos 93a ... no one seemed to know how to permanently remove the orinoco, hermes mods so I thought I would try BT 2 final.

It appears to have the same issues. but the example noted does work.

Not very elegant

Well, the method mentioned in the Wiki does not help me. My card identifies itself as: "AWLAN", "WS8P/IEEE", "Version 00.00", "" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002.

So even if manually load hostap still orinoco gets loaded when inserting the card. Any ideas?

PS: Using BT1 everything works fine, but for BT2 look above.

I solved this patching hostap_cs.c to recognize my card. To make airoscript.sh work you also have to adjust some internal path variable.

Now I can use my Prism2 card for pentesting my network with BT2 which incorporates some recent SVN version of aircrack-ng and the aforementioned script.

Now everything works like a charm on my newest dual core laptop. I only have to figure out yet how to utilize my geforce go 7600. I don't expect any help from this forum
